Oh. Anyway, Cory and I (and I think a couple of friends) will be driving to Newcastle, and it would be nice to meet up with any other astronomy friends who are going there (SLAS or OAS or unaffiliated or ....) We'll spend that night in Cedar City and head home Monday, so it also would be nice to have dinner with others going there for the eclipse, as has been suggested. -- Joe ________________________________ From: Patrick Wiggins <paw@wirelessbeehive.com> To: Utah Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Thursday, May 3, 2012 9:54 PM Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Eclipse stuff and glasses update On 03 May 2012, at 16:10, Joe Bauman wrote:
I'm wondering why they think Kanarraville is a "sweet spot" more than Newcastle. Thanks, Joe
I was speaking to the tourist bureau's PR person today and asked that very question. She said someone in Kanarraville used the term at a meeting one day and the name stuck. But then she added that while Kanarraville may be the sweet spot the whole area is sweet. :) Cheers, patrick _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Send messages to the list to Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com The Utah-Astronomy mailing list is not affiliated with any astronomy club.
